Continuity mistake: Tom just had the first bite of the Napoleon crab and tells his date "You should really try this." Chris in a blatant lack of continuity goes from having her arms wide at the side of the plate, to raised arms with hands joined. And in the rest of the scene there are more inconsistencies in her hand motions, at practically every cut. (00:18:50)

Continuity mistake: In the reaction shot on Aunt Stella when Chris tells "I am (perfect) ", she is standing upright and with one hand on her mouth in surprise. Next shot and she's in the background leaning on the bar with both hands. (00:19:50)
